From bb61682b3f31dec7d058cae2f6edd2275248a704 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:31:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86: x86 core dump TLS This makes ELF core dumps of 32-bit processes include a new note type NT_386_TLS (0x200) giving the contents of the TLS slots in struct user_desc format. This lets post mortem examination figure out what the segment registers mean like the debugger does with get_thread_area on a live process.
